After missing his team’s first two Premier League matches due to a knee injury, Raúl Jiménez finally debuted coming off the bench on August 20th when Wolves visited Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in their 1-0 loss to the Spurs. He made his first start of the season in his club’s EFL Round 2 victory against Preston North End just three days later. The Mexican forward also played the full match on August 28th against Newcastle and then on the 31st visiting Bournemouth. And that was the last time he saw a minute of action.
During the September 3rd warmups for Wolves’ clash with Southampton, Jiménez’s status was downgraded to out at the last minute.
